WITLOOF CHICORY, or 
FRENCH ENDIVE 
During the winter this is sold by dealers in fancy fruits and 
vegetahles as ‘‘Hyench Hndive,’’ and the large demand for it 
has caused considerable inquiry regarding its culture. In order 
to grow good ‘‘ Witloof’’ the seed should be sown during June 
in the open ground, in drills 10 or 12 inches apart, in deep, rich 
soil. Allow the plants to grow until November, keeping free 
from weeds and watering if necessary. Then take up the roots 
and trim off the leaves to about 14 inches from the neck, break off 
any Shoots which may appear on sides of root, and shorten lower 
end so that all will be of a uniform length of 8 tolQ inches. Then 
plant in a trench 16 to 18 inches deep, placing the roots upright, 
about 13 inches apart. This will leave the necks of the roots 
about 8 inches below the level of the ground. Fill up the trench 
with good, light, well-drained soil, and, if speedy growth of any 
por-ion of the crop is desired, it may be accomplished by covering 
with a layer of manure at least 16 inches deep. In about 4 or 5 
weeks the leaves will attain their proper size, and the manure 
may be taken off and the roots dug up. The blanched head is 
the edible portion, and should be cut off. leaving a portion of the 
neck attached to it. Witloof is eaten raw or as a salad, and is 
also sometimes cooked like ordinary Endive. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 
AO cts.; 4 Ib., $1.00; Ib., $3.50. 
COLUMBIA CELERY 
An exceptionally fine early variety, which for size and shape 
is unsurpassed. The plant is of medium height, but very stocky, 
foliage is a light shade of green with yellow tinge, and the stalks 
are thick, almost round, and resemble Giant Pascal in shape, but 
are of a rich, yellow color, similar to the well-known Golden Self- 
blanching, which it resembles when trimmed and bunched. It 
matures early, and its exceedingly fine flavor and crispness will 
please even the most critical. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; } Ib., 
$1.50. For Plants see page 210. 
WINTER KING CELERY 
An attractive feature of this variety is that while the outer 
stalks are green, it naturally produces many golden hearts, which 
are crisp, very tender and of excellent flavor. It is one of the 
best of the winter-keeping Celeries, and may be allowed to re- 
main in the trench for a long time, and will come out in first-class 
condition, solid and free from rot. The plants make a strong 
growth and are very easy to blanche, which is a decided advantage 
to the amateur. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; } Ib., $1.50, For
